“Good location, poor hotel.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011

The hotel is situated in a small street right in the center of Milan. In about 10 minutes walk you are at the Duomo (Cathedral). Reaching the hotel is easy with both public transportation and taxi.

The rooms are very small and old, the bed quite hard and you could hear other guests very clearly thanks to the thin walls. The room was clean and I got new towels and soap every day. Breakfast was not much but sufficient. The staff was very nice and was very helpfull with planning trips etc.

I must point out that this hotel is one of the cheapest in the center of Milan so you can't really expect 5* accommodation and service. If you just want to visit the city of Milan and you just sleep at the hotel this hotel should be fine. If you are a person that likes spending more time at the hotel then just sleeping you should stay away from this accommodation.

“Nightmare - Beware!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 December 2011

My friend and I took holiday and stopped for shopping in Milan before heading onto our next adventure. Though the location was great (once we navigated to the cathedral square - the map at the desk was missing streets so we ended up wandering far longer than needed). Our first impression was a bit skiddish however, we still gave it a chance after dealing with the waitstaff. The lift was a nice change, however the room was terrible. The only positive was that we did not see bugs while in the room. The odor was awful, the room and linens did not seem fresh and had a horrid smell (cigarettes mixed with urine). The bathroom was by far the smallest bathroom I have ever been in and the shower is so small that the curtain touching you could not be avoided - camping outdoors is a much more pleasant experience! The room was not soundproof at all from internal and external noises so sleep was nearly impossible. Those that had positive experiences must have stayed in a newer part of the hotel, as a world traveler, I would classify this as a top 3 worst hotel ever. Do yourself a favor and pay a little more for somewhere else - we wish we would have!

“Vecchia Milano-don't bother”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 November 2011

Whilst quite an easy walk to the cathedral square, that is the only thing worth saying about this place. Also the restaurant next door was great. THe hotel is to be avoided at all costs. Small, pokey, not very helpful casual staff, the whole thing is pretty ordinary and we would have gone elsewhere if it had not been a Sunday and we were only there a night.

“unfortunately not satisfied”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 October 2011
1
person found this review helpful

I wanted a cheap hotel in downtown Milan at a walking distance from Cordoba station. That was good, location was perfect. I had paid 180 euros for two nights for a double room. For the center of Milan is a reasonable price. But I would still advise you to choose a different hotel. Pay a little more but maybe a lot more comfort. Our room was very noisy. You could hear everything inside and out. Room is very spacious, bed was okay, but unfortunately not very clean. In the drawer there was still some stuff (underwear) from the previous guests. Shower was small and had mold on the wall. Next time I will pay a bit more for another hotel.
